We love Bowdoin Park for so many reasons. The park is so spacious with so many nooks and crannies…read morethat there's something for everyone. Multi use sports fields, swing sets, toddler play areas, great spaces for picnicking, and for my purpose, Dog exploring. My black lab mix has to sniff frequently to feel gratification. So our trips to Bowden Park happened roughly once a week so he can read all the "Social PEEdia.". Regardless of what time or day it is, you'll always find people enjoying the trail, walk, quiet, picnic, entertaining children, or using one of the several permanent gazebo structures to host a celebration. I think it's still possible to rent out the lodge for overnight stays and private parties. I would defer to them to confirm that There's a little chapel on site and I've never been inside, but it looks absolutely adorable. This could be a great place for a casual country wedding celebration and picnic in place of those high priced extravagant weddings. This is our third visit this month and I have failed to report in two other times. If you have a dog, this is a great place to visit but make sure you bring your 6 foot leash. It is mandatory Like all parks in the county, the park closes at dusk. Be respectful and carry your trash out with you if you can't find a receptacle of which there are many. And by all means, clean up after your pet and your children. Keep the Park beautiful for everyone. The location of Bowden Park is on the edges of the Hudson River. You can't see the river from everywhere but you know it's there parallel to the train path to New York City and up to Poughkeepsie

Bowdoin Park is one of those parks where "I wish I discovered this place many years back." Driving…read morein leads to many things to do, a playground for the kids, and two big fields with one providing a baseball and soccer field. Picnic tables are scattered throughout the park along with pavilions. The pavilions are in great shape and in use. Bathrooms are provided in the main building. Also, be on the lookout for upcoming mini concerts, which are performed on the hilly field just as you enter. There are a total of six trails that are assigned a color, starting at one point and ending at a different location (with some reconnecting with the same path), except the blue trail, which does a loop, and also the Wappingers Greenway Trail, which passes through. I've enjoyed exploring, with decent views and scenery. The intersections of different paths need to be marked clearly, and instead, the sign is further in. Reading the map is key to not getting lost, which Bowdoin Park provides. There's a lot to offer for all ages, and it's a destination anyone won't regret along the Hudson River with a touch of nature.

I'm so glad I stumbled across Walkway Over the Hudson while exploring Google Maps…read more We were in the area to visit the Mid‑Hudson Discovery Museum and realized the elevator up to the bridge was right nearby, so we decided to check it out first. My son was hesitant while we waited, but once we stepped inside, the staff member operating the elevator was incredibly friendly and put him at ease. The moment we stepped onto the bridge, the views were beautiful. We wandered around, read the dedication plaques, and my son immediately wanted to run everywhere -- he didn't want to leave! We eventually convinced him because the museum was next on our list, but he made it clear he wanted to come back. We'll definitely return and walk the full length next time. Such a great find.

It's all fun and games until finding a park right by the river and train tracks. Well, in this…read morecase, it works out here. Coming into Milton Landing Park is quick scenic and easy to find, with two being a pro. There's a decent amount of parking, but enough to fill some in. The best part about it is, that there's plenty of space to move around as a pedestrian. Across the railroad tracks is a field of grass to explore with benches and also two docks to walk up onto the Hudson River. Be careful of the winds, especially when wearing any head gears. On the parking lot side, there is a building that was once a train station and remains still to this day. Near it, there are three panic tables to sit at an old train track to walk on, and a building that cuts the track off. It's a wonderful place to kill time and watch some freight trains come by with a ding sound at the crossing, instead of a gate.

It's a hard decision of rating a 1 or 2, but with decimals, it would be very useful in this case. I…read morefound this park online at https://gis.dutchessny.gov/parks-and-trails/ which showed one trail doing a big loop. Coming in, I saw a sign naming the park and also another advertising a holiday event (which I found surprising to still be up). Also, a soccer field was visible to the left and further in, a small parking lot which has a dog park located in front of it, reasonable sized. Up the hill, without noticing, there was additional parking with a huge field. No issues with that overall. The trail had a light blue symbol along the driveway, but the signature was awful, especially coming to the parking lot, you'll have find your way which is across the field into the woods and I did have to ask someone where it is to get that answer. With that, the trail looked in trouble condition; overgrown, hilly, and wet. I only stepped in the trail at that one and also toward the park entrance, where both went to the woods. What's worse, there is no map provided in this park which is absolutely ridiculous. It comes down to that overall, including other major improvements, such as, better signage, and also maintenance that needs to be done. The only way of finding the map is on the website, which I mentioned in the first paragraph. Even looking at the trail map seemed a bit off. Getting those fixed will definitely up my rating, despite the sporting and dog park having no issues.

Add a better water source, more seating, have poop bags and this is a 3 star dog run. Upgrade ground cover and upgrade or fix some of the fencing and it is probably a 4 star dog run.

I really appreciate this as my dog is an anxiety prone rescue. While we lived in NYC we couldn't go into any of the dog parks as you never know anything about the dogs. Also, the park is very big so the dogs have space to stay to themselves unlike the small parks in NYC. Everyone I have met is very kind and helpful. I have found out about such great restaurants, contractors, other dog friendly places, vet clinics and a wonderful doggy daycare place.

Secondly thankfully this is a private dog park that anyone can join for an annual fee. Makes me feel safe that only neutered/spayed dogs with all appropriate vaccinations come here. I'm happy to pay $55 a year knowing that all the dogs that come here are fully vaccinated and fixed. Well worth it. I go almost daily, I've yet to see a fight.
